AMD has issued an advisory indicating that having fTPM enabled in
BIOS can cause "stuttering" in the OS.  This issue has been fixed
in newer versions of the fTPM firmware, but it's up to system
designers to decide whether to distribute it.

This issue has existed for a while, but is more prevalent starting
with kernel 6.1 because commit b006c439d58db ("hwrng: core - start
hwrng kthread also for untrusted sources") started to use the fTPM
for hwrng by default. However, all uses of /dev/hwrng result in
unacceptable stuttering.

So, simply disable registration of the defective hwrng when detecting
these faulty fTPM versions.  As this is caused by faulty firmware, it
is plausible that such a problem could also be reproduced by other TPM
interactions, but this hasn't been shown by any user's testing or reports.

It is hypothesized to be triggered more frequently by the use of the RNG
because userspace software will fetch random numbers regularly.

Intentionally continue to register other TPM functionality so that users
that rely upon PCR measurements or any storage of data will still have
access to it.  If it's found later that another TPM functionality is
exacerbating this problem a module parameter it can be turned off entirely
and a module parameter can be introduced to allow users who rely upon
fTPM functionality to turn it on even though this problem is present.

tpm_read_log_acpi() should return -ENODEV when no eventlog from the ACPI
table is found. If the firmware vendor includes an invalid log address
we are unable to map from the ACPI memory and tpm_read_log() returns -EIO
which would abort discovery of the eventlog.

Change the return value from -EIO to -ENODEV when acpi_os_map_iomem()
fails to map the event log.

<title>cpumask: fix incorrect cpumask scanning result checks</title>

<id>8ca09d5fa3549d142c2080a72a4c70ce389163cd</id>
<content type='text'>
It turns out that commit 596ff4a09b89 ("cpumask: re-introduce
constant-sized cpumask optimizations") exposed a number of cases of
drivers not checking the result of "cpumask_next()" and friends
correctly.

The documented correct check for "no more cpus in the cpumask" is to
check for the result being equal or larger than the number of possible
CPU ids, exactly _because_ we've always done those constant-sized
cpumask scans using a widened type before.  So the return value of a
cpumask scan should be checked with

	if (cpu &gt;= nr_cpu_ids)
		...

because the cpumask scan did not necessarily stop exactly *at* that
maximum CPU id.

But a few cases ended up instead using checks like

	if (cpu == nr_cpumask_bits)
		...

which used that internal "widened" number of bits.  And that used to
work pretty much by accident (ok, in this case "by accident" is simply
because it matched the historical internal implementation of the cpumask
scanning, so it was more of a "intentionally using implementation
details rather than an accident").

But the extended constant-sized optimizations then did that internal
implementation differently, and now that code that did things wrong but
matched the old implementation no longer worked at all.

Which then causes subsequent odd problems due to using what ends up
being an invalid CPU ID.

Most of these cases require either unusual hardware or special uses to
hit, but the random.c one triggers quite easily.

All you really need is to have a sufficiently small CONFIG_NR_CPUS value
for the bit scanning optimization to be triggered, but not enough CPUs
to then actually fill that widened cpumask.  At that point, the cpumask
scanning will return the NR_CPUS constant, which is _not_ the same as
nr_cpumask_bits.

This just does the mindless fix with

   sed -i 's/== nr_cpumask_bits/&gt;= nr_cpu_ids/'

to fix the incorrect uses.

The ones in the SCSI lpfc driver in particular could probably be fixed
more cleanly by just removing that repeated pattern entirely, but I am
not emptionally invested enough in that driver to care.

Pull tty / serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of serial and tty driver updates for 6.3-rc1.

  Once again, Jiri and Ilpo have done a number of core vt and tty/serial

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

 - Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
   which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

 - SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
   "mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

   These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

 - Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
   adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
   reclaim.

 - David Hildenbrand has added some userfaultfd cleanup work in the
   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the generic_writepages() library
   function in the series "remove generic_writepages".

 - Baolin Wang has performed some maintenance on the compaction code in
   his series "Some small improvements for compaction".

 - Sidhartha Kumar is doing some maintenance work on struct page in his
   series "Get rid of tail page fields".

 - David Hildenbrand contributed some cleanup, bugfixing and
   generalization of pte management and of pte debugging in his series
   "mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on all architectures with
   swap PTEs".

 - Mel Gorman and Neil Brown have removed the __GFP_ATOMIC allocation
   flag in the series "Discard __GFP_ATOMIC".

 - Sergey Senozhatsky has improved zsmalloc's memory utilization with
   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() &amp; fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

 - Jiaqi Yan has provided some enhancements to our memory error
   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

 - Mel Gorman has a second and hopefully final shot at fixing a CPU-hog
   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

 - Christoph Hellwig does some vmalloc maintenance work in the series
   "cleanup vfree and vunmap".

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed block_device_operations.rw_page() in
   ths series "remove -&gt;rw_page".

 - We get some maple_tree improvements and cleanups in Liam Howlett's
   series "VMA tree type safety and remove __vma_adjust()".

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has done some work on the maintainability of our
   vm_flags handling in the series "introduce vm_flags modifier
   functions".

 - Some pagemap cleanup and generalization work in Mike Rapoport's
   series "mm, arch: add generic implementation of pfn_valid() for
   FLATMEM" and "fixups for generic implementation of pfn_valid()"

 - Baoquan He has done some work to make /proc/vmallocinfo and
   /proc/kcore better represent the real state of things in his series
   "mm/vmalloc.c: allow vread() to read out vm_map_ram areas".

 - Jason Gunthorpe rationalized the GUP system's interface to the rest
   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

 - Huang Ying has provided a dramatic reduction in migration's TLB flush
   IPI rates with the series "migrate_pages(): batch TLB flushing".

 - Arnd Bergmann has some objtool fixups in "objtool warning fixes".

There is a copy of alloc_gatt_pages() and free_gatt_pages in several
architectures in arch/$ARCH/include/asm/agp.h. All the copies do exactly
the same: alias alloc_gatt_pages() to __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL) and
alias free_gatt_pages() to free_pages().

Define alloc_gatt_pages() and free_gatt_pages() in drivers/char/agp/agp.h
and drop per-architecture definitions.
